A Truck That Fits More Markets Building a smaller truck wouldn’t just help expand Tesla’s footprint in the pickup segment. It could also meet needs the current lineup doesn’t quite address. “I think in the future, as more and more of the robotaxi comes into the world, we look at those options and we think about, OK, that kind of service is useful not just for people, but also for goods,” said Moravy, according to Business Insider. This could be a signal that Tesla is looking to expand into the medium-truck or even small van segment. Speaking specifically about the former, Moravy elaborated further, saying, “We’ve definitely been churning in the design studio about what we might do to serve that need for sure.” Right now, Tesla doesn’t have anything that really fits into the category of ‘delivery vehicle.’ In fact, many of its remote service vehicles are small gas-powered vans. No doubt, it would prefer to service customer vehicles with one of its own. Practicality could prove a big selling point, too. The Cybertruck isn’t selling the way Tesla hoped it would. Early adopters picked it up, but sales have stalled out. Plenty of folks see it as a lifestyle vehicle more than a tried-and-true pickup in the conventional sense. Perhaps a mid-size truck would be a way to crack back into the practicality market, the same way the Model Y did so where the Model X couldn’t. TAGS
